My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1945 - 1939: She Still Likes Him

She informed Ashton Heath of her flight, and he arrived at the airport an hour earlier to wait for her.

Upon arriving at the airport.

Ashton Heath entered the VIP lounge to wait for Joanna Lawrence’s flight.

He chose a less crowded corner, asked a staff member for a magazine, and quietly flipped through it in the corner.

The man’s appearance was strikingly handsome.

His beautiful, deep facial features, noble bearing, and extraordinary taste in attire made it hard not to notice him.

Even though he had deliberately chosen an inconspicuous corner so as not to attract attention, there were still many girls in the VIP lounge who frequently cast glances in his direction.

Some wanted to ask him for his contact information, but were deterred by his cold, "strangers unwelcome" demeanor and didn’t dare approach him.

Ashton Heath’s patience and gentleness were reserved for Joanna Lawrence alone.

When she was not around, there was not a trace of warmth or softness about him – he appeared exceptionally cold and distant.

Others would not dare approach him so casually.

Just like the girls in the VIP lounge – no matter how envious they felt, they could only steal a few glances or secretly take photos with their phones.

No one dared to approach him.

Ashton Heath read the magazine for about ten minutes before a shadow fell across his view, followed by a familiar voice, "Ashton, long time no see."

Ashton Heath looked up and saw the woman standing in front of him. After a cold glance, he lowered his head to continue reading the magazine.

This reaction made Rebecca Kelloway’s expression darken and her fists clench.

Her gaze at Ashton Heath was no longer filled with infatuation – instead, it was now filled with intense hatred.

She hated this heartless and ungrateful man.

Because of him, the Kelloway family had almost gone bankrupt.

He cruelly refused her humble plea for help when she most needed it, in her most desperate moment.

More than twenty years of friendship meant nothing to him.

For Joanna’s sake, he watched the Kelloway family go bankrupt.

He knew full well how miserable her life would become after her family went bankrupt, but he remained indifferent.

He truly didn’t care about her at all.

But over the years, she had loved him to the bone.

Compared to his cold indifference, Rebecca Kelloway felt that her more than twenty years of devotion had been a joke.

Fortunately, she was no longer that foolish.

"Ashton, do you have to be so cold to me?" Rebecca Kelloway didn’t care whether Ashton Heath was listening or not. She hooked her lip, chuckled, and said, "I never thought the day would come when we’d become like enemies."

"I thought that no matter what, we’d always remain friends. Now it seems that I was too naive."

"Ashton, Dad told me that you once promised him you’d help the Kelloway family. But the condition was that I had to get married within a month. Is that true?" Rebecca Kelloway knew the answer, but she wanted to ask again.

She wanted to hear Ashton Heath admit it himself.

That way, she could slowly resign her feelings for him.

She had loved this man for more than twenty years.

Even if she were now utterly disappointed in him, her feelings for him couldn’t disappear completely in such a short time.

She still liked him.

But now she would no longer let herself be foolish.

Her life’s focus would no longer be centered solely on Ashton Heath.

Ashton Heath looked up, his voice cold, "Since you already know, there’s no need to ask."
